We are a huge fan of this plant for numerous reasons: First, it's ability to handle extreme hot and dry conditions plus it handles frost no problem; Second, it's slender, arching evergreen blue-green foliage that forms a dense clump; Third, this plant is stunning when in flower during the Summer months with an elegant panicle of reddish pink flowers. An architecturally intriguing plant that makes an impact en masse or as a potted specimen. Full sun. Approx. 1 x 1m.

Salvia lanceolata
$14.00
Visit product page →Buy 1 for $14.00 / Buy 5 for $60.00
Native to the Cape of Good Hope in Southern Africa. Sometimes referred to as Sand Sage, we are always trialling plants for their ability to withstand really hot Summers and frosty cold Winters while still giving us a strong element of beauty and intrigue. Salvia lanceolata fits in well. Dusky pink calyxes with smoky salmon beige petals on silver grey foliage makes for a curious yet beautiful combination. Prefers well drained soil and flowers in mid Summer. Grows 1m x 1m.

This Coneflower is a high impact perennial. As the name may suggest it has been bred to produce upright well branched stems that result in more flowers per plant. Flowers have luminous golden yellow centres surrounded by a skirt of wide pure white petals. The compact habit lends itself to planting en masse as well as container culture. 60cm tall x 40cm wide. Prefers well drained average soils in full sun.

Tulbaghia 'John May Special'
$13.00
Visit product page →Buy 1 for $13.00/ Buy 5 for $55.00
The biggest plant and the biggest flowers in the world of 'Society Garlics'. Really strong growth on a high performance plant. Grey-green strappy foliage to 60cm which is topped with mauve pink heads of Agapanthus style flowers. So good we prefer this plant to regular Tulbaghia violaceae which has been a mainstay in our plant stocks for over a decade.

Agastache 'Blue Fortune'
$13.00
Visit product page →Buy 1 for $13.00 / Buy 5 for $55.00
Our favourite hummingbird mint! Korean in origin, 'Blue Fortune' does require better soils and a bit more water than Mexican varieties. However the reward is a higher impact, visually stunning plant. It works well with ornamental grasses, silver foliage plants, Echinacea, Rudbeckia and Helenium. 80cm x 60cm.

After growing both Melon and Tangerine in the Forever Summer series we have been very impressed with their form, flowering and general performance. 'Forever Summer Berry' is the third in the series and meets up with the standard set by the previous two. Flowering in vibrant pink with an orange tinge from Summer well into Autumn, 'Berry' is an excellent addition to our suite of Agastache. 75cm x 50cm. Full sun and well drained soil.
